Second Pokémon "SpBugs" family proposed for my participation in InsectWeek 2021: the spider Portia
Even though it's not an insect, but an arachnid, it is going to be classified in the “Insect” type Pokémon ... It was a difficult work, between coming up with a concept with the Fighting type and not just doing a Salticus. I had to do several sketches that strayed from my very early concepts (too much like a basic Portia Spider with boxing gloves glued to her pedipalps).
For the characteristics of the spider, I played on its small size to create a very practical Talent and its Statistics are distributed (with the common values of the 3 "SpBugs") in such a way as to make it a very aggressive Pokémon that could be very useful in Pokémon Strategy, despite its type handicap.
Other information, such as size, weight, or "pokédex" description, is based on real data that can be found in Pokémon games or news sites. Obviously, this data has been adapted for the Pokémon and is not a simple copy and paste of raw information.
